TRITON SYSTEMS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: This proposal addresses the MDA"s need to develop a manufacturing process for applica

Description

This proposal addresses the MDA"s need to develop a manufacturing process for application of anti-tamper coatings to protect critical program information and technology. The proposed anti-tamper coating and processing techniques will protect military electronics against reverse-engineering while being gentle enough to be applied to sensitive electronics. During the Phase I, Triton has demonstrated a non- to low thermally applied coating that provides anti-tamper protection for temperature-sensitive electronics. The coating and application method are suitable for use with a variety of electronic systems, including commercially off the shelf components. During Phase II, the coating system and application methods will be optimized for resistance to reverse engineering techniques, application speed, and reliability. Further, testing will be performed to ensure that the coating will not affect the functionality of the underlying electronic components. Long-term environmental testing will be performed for compatibility with the environment the components will be stored or used in.
